Single / Dual / Triple Data Rate

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Memory Single / Dual / Triple Data Rate

I am working on an article for my computer hardware class and have decided to base it partially on single, dual, and triple data rate memory. I choose this topic because my knowledge is very limited here, so it would be a great way to further my knowledge in this area.

Why did I not do tons of research on the internet instead of posting here? Yes, I did do some research on my own for this topic, but it always helps to talk within someone who has extensive knowledge on the topic to help make things clear. Yes, I can tell you exactly what each type does, but I cannot explain to you how they work or the benefits, while understanding myself.

Please, post what each type does and how it works. Also, if you can please explain each one also to the greatest detail your knowledge and time will allow. Also if you know of a good article please send it to me, as I am willing to further my independent research.

Thanks

Why not start by reading http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/167/1? Wikipedia also is a good place to get basic info.

Thank you for your post.

Would this be correct-

Single Date Rate - SDRAM

Double Date Rate - DDR and DDR2

Triple Date Rate - DDR3

Slightly confused in this topic.

Please help me, I am at a lost with this topic! I have read that article several times and I am unable to find where it explains Single Date Rate. Above is just my guessing ( previous post by myself ).

SDRAM = Synchronous Dynamic Random Access memory
DDR SDRAM = Double Data Rate (?) Synchronous Dynamic Random Access memory.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synch [...] ess_memory <- Though I wouldn't use it as a source for academic purposes. It is a good starting point however for searching google on more reliable sources.

To make it simple, DDR means Double Data Rate. Therefore DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 are double data rate.

Okay, thanks much. But what about TDR? Triple Date Rate?

Where is it used? On mainframes?

Reply to GhislainG

Same question, this is for my mid-term exam for my Computer Maintenance Course, so I need as much details on this TDR as possible. ( my instructor is giving us all first half of the year to write it, thank god. )

Reply to camstang

Are you sure that you're not confusing triple channel and TDR (which doesn't seem to exist)?

Reply to GhislainG

There is no triple data rate memory

you have SDRAM which is synchronous dram.
then DDR DDR2 and DDR3 are all double data rate.. (ddr2 and ddr3 support higher speed(mhz) is all)

even memory like GDDR5 on high performance video cards is simply faster double data rate memory ..

then of course you have single double and triple CHANNEL memory architectures.

I know what you mean, where is this memory? The vocabulary section is the exact same this as that from CompTIA Strata Objectives list. So if its on CompTIA it must exist somewhere...

The goal of my instructor is to have us all able to take this exam and pass it by the end of the course, as long as we all put some effort into this.

Reply to camstang

Please help

Reply to camstang

How can we help you? We can't convince you that TDR memory doesn't exist an you won't believe us. Why not ask your instructor where it can be found? After all you're paying him to teach you, aren't you?

Reply to GhislainG

I definitely see the reference in the CompTIA Strata objectives, but that wouldn't be the first time their objectives came up wanting.
